Customers are mixed about the sturdiness of the product. Some mention that it's well built, stable, and should last a long time. Others say that the Fab model is small and not as well made as the Brinly one, and the quality is really quite bad.

84 customers mention57 positive27 negative

Customers are mixed about the size of the material handling truck. Some mention that it's bigger than expected, great on hilly terrain, has nice size pneumatic tires, and a wide stance. The container is huge, and can hold 130 pounds of fertilizer. However, others say that everything is very tight fitting, it'd be difficult to assemble, and the unit is pretty large. The plate on the Agri-Fab model is small, and not as well made as the Brinly one, and instructions are terrible.

"...The fit & finish were very good, although there were a couple of tiny spots where the paint was scuffed...." Read more

Customers are dissatisfied with the missing parts of the material handling truck. They mention that several pins and bolts were missing. Some customers also say that the instructions are not clear and that the hardware was not contained in a bag.

Like previous concerns the assembly process could be made a little simpler. I hunkered down and took my time and made it through. As far as performance goes it is a must have for lawn care, especially us with large areas! Cut application time considerably and was not nearly as worn out if I had to push the old school spreader! Look forward to many future uses!

Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2023
I bought this spreader to replace my push model. It was well worth it and spreading fertilizer is now a breeze. I use it with my John Deere lawn tractor.

Assembly wasn't too bad but you might want to have another set of hands. The unit is pretty large and some of the pieces can be hard to assemble by yourself but I was able to manage. It probably took about an hour.

The spreader worked well and I was able to cover my 2 acre property pretty quickly. It is very sturdy and stable, even going over bumps and hills. The only downside is the front is a bit low with my tractor which makes it harder to get the last bit of fertilizer out of the hopper. I flipped the hitch bracket to the bottom which raised the front up a bit and helped.

Overall, I'm very happy with the spreader and would buy it again.

I just ordered this and used it yesterday. Assembly took about 45 min and the directions were straight forward. Like others have said don't tighten everything until its all together as it makes alignment of parts easier. I loaded it with 100lbs of granular fertilizer at once and had no issues. I kept the spread rate a little light and covered everything twice in different directions for an even spread. Like all broadcast spreaders it favours one side the way the product hits the spreader wheel. In all I covered a out 2 1/2 acres and had no problems at all. I didn't have any of the negative issues that so many other reviews list. No wheel skidding, tipping, missing parts, difficult assembly, etc. I was extremely impressed with the performance and would highly recommend this product.

Reviewed in Canada on October 10, 2022
This is my second AgriFab spreader, the first died a horrible death with a stripped gearbox and cracked flow control wheel, but it lasted a decade.

Easy assembly, took about an hour. Read the instructions first, get familiar with the parts (which are diagrammed in the getting started guide), and stick with the guidelines of "don't tighten anything completely until assembly is done" and it'll go smoothly. One review mentions drilling a second hole for a cotter pin on the axle - DON'T do this, only one wheel should have a cotter pin installed, the other should spin freely. There's no differential, so the wheels need to be able to turn independently, which is why one isn't linked to the axle directly.

Similar quality to the previous version with a number of improvements, in particular the flow control which is now accessible without getting off the tractor, although it might require some contortions/reaching. Improved flow gate as well, and a simple adjustment system. Good even spread for fertilizer and grass seed. It's a decent, well-built, lightweight spreader. $320 still feels high for a poly bin, some tubing, and a couple wheels, but it is what it is.

Good buy, we'll see if this lasts another decade.
